Before I begin:
Once again, I donโt know much but I trust SBU and the books they pick. ๐ Iโm willing to read a book and participate ๐ค๐ผ be pleasantly surprised ๐๐
Monday
Read todayโs chapters ๐
Evie hasnโt picked a victim YET but, judging by the animosity and fascination with Saint, itโll be Saint ๐ค Having a hard time taking Saint seriouslyโฆ A man so rakish to be chairman of the board?!
- Surprised but pleased Evie and her friends make up rules ๐ Have yet to pick victims ๐ Totally missed the kiss ๐๐ Iโm sure thereโll be more ๐ค๐ผ Siblings stirring up trouble ๐ No remark on the narration ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ But, a part of me, doesnโt want to understand ๐๐
- Also want to finish soon! Anyplay really does have chapter breakdowns ๐ Also reading Twisted Love โค๏ธ Waiting for the rules of conduct to kick in (is that the premise of the series?) if so ๐ค Mustache spinning villains ๐ฅธ ๐๐คฃ good imagery!
- 2nd the theory where Evie finds out Saint is selling the orphanage so Evie uses the list on Saint. The fact itโs just a theory tells me the plot is SLOWLY moving along AnD not completely original ๐ค Not too familiar with Byron so ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ

Wednesday
Saint flirts with Evie ๐ meet Evieโs mother ๐ Evie working for orphanage ๐คซ๐ Saint wants a kiss ๐ Evie to kiss Saint ๐โพ๏ธ The ending to todayโs chapters were unexpected but I can see it can lead to more in the plot (and more fun ๐) Interesting role reversal (h usually kidnapped) ๐ค
- The plot twist ๐คฏ Victor is a controlling influence in her life ๐คฌ Why not set boundaries?! Anyone care to explain to me? ๐๐พ BONKERS forreal!
Thursday
In this section, Saint and Evie consummate ๐ Not entirely sure how Saint was releasedโฆ Saintโs plans to blackmail Evie for a repeat ๐ not sure how I feel about it thoughโฆ The chapter breakdowns are conveniently placed for discussion ๐ With a blackmail ploy in play, does that mean lessons are out?
- Imprisonment here is a way to indicate power, with it gone, weโre back to patriarchal structure of itโฆ Imprisonment not cool but as plot device I like it ๐ Recs where a heroine imprisons the hero? Weโre at a crossroad I think ๐ค The author can write the plot more towards blackmail (traditional) or the memory of the kidnapping (new power dynamics)
- Any book after LOS will be missing something ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ Agreed Saint ๐ feels harder to root for himโฆ I did feel sympathy when he showed his lonely side thoughโฆ
Friday
Realized may have blogged at an incorrect time ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ but regardless weโre reading to the end of the book. This season, Iโve been reading more blue stocking heroines ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ (thanks to SBU ๐). Victor showing some recognition of Evieโs networking prowess (finally!) But this will only end when sheโs married.
